The pastoral concubine of space

Chapter 13 First Income

"Come on! I heard that Widow Xiao picked up a big bug!"

"What!? Real or fake!? The big bug can still pick it up? Don't be fooled!"

"It's true, it was Liu Dajiang, Zhao Chuan, and Tu Oruhu who helped carry it down the mountain. Now it was put in Tu Oruehu's house, and several people saw it with their own eyes!"

"Really, go and have a look!"

"Go, go, go!"

People in the village who got the news were shocked and unbelievable, and kept running to tell each other. After a while, more than a dozen people gathered and rushed to Tu Xing's house in a mighty manner.

By the time they arrived, many people had already arrived ahead of time, and they were watching the particularly obvious colossus in the yard. From time to time, people could hear gasps and exclamations.

"It's really a big bug!"

"I heard that Widow Xiao picked it up? What's going on?"

"It seems to say that the tiger fought with a pack of wolves, and in the end the wolves won. The tiger died, and the widow Xiao hid it, and finally took advantage of the omission."

"This luck is too good!" The people around couldn't help being jealous after hearing this, why didn't they catch up with this luck!
People in the village have never hunted or even seen a big worm, but they also know that ordinary large prey such as wild boars can be sold for at least a few dozen taels of silver, and a big worm is worth more?

This Widow Xiao is about to flourish!

Xiao Yunchu is still carrying a "sick young man" character design on his body at the moment, and he used to be a door-to-door and no way out, so he entrusted Tu Xing to sell the big bug for money.

Under the watchful eyes of a group of villagers, Tu Xing slashed the skin of the big worm, and then cut the flesh and other parts of his body that could be sold separately. While it was still early today, he went directly to Uncle Liu in the village to borrow an ox cart, and Liu Dajiang , Zhang Chengye and the others helped put the dismembered tiger into the car and went straight to the town.

After the people left, Xiao Yunchu followed the village chief and the others to bring the two children back. During the period, he still followed several villagers. Xiao Yunchu ignored it and pretended not to notice it.

When they arrived at the village chief's house, Liu Yinghua made sure that the people who went up the mountain hadn't encountered any troubles, and then began to criticize Xiao Yunchu, saying that she shouldn't bring her two children up the mountain, it was too dangerous.

Xiao Yunchu knew that the other party was thinking of himself, so he listened patiently before taking Zichen Zixi home.

After tossing and tossing for a long time today, the two children were both excited and tired, Xiao Yunchu gave them some food to pad their stomachs, and after eating they were so sleepy that they fell asleep and took a nap.

Xiao Yunchu stayed by the side to practice, and waited for Tu Orion to come back by the way.

Around the evening, there was no movement outside, and the two children had already woken up, playing backgammon with great concentration.

"Mother Zichen, are you there? I'm your Uncle Tu!" Tu Xing yelled outside, and Xiao Yunchu, who had noticed it earlier, called the two children to go out to meet him.

Seeing the happy smile on Tu Xing's face, he knew that this trip went very smoothly.

Before she could open her mouth, Tu Xing congratulated her first, "I have to congratulate you first, the money I earned on this trip is much more than I expected." He put down the things in his hand, and took them out from his bosom. A heavy money bag was handed over.

Xiao Yunchu first asked Zichen to bring him tea to quench his thirst, but Tu Xing was not polite, took the tea and gulped it down, then wiped his sleeves, and explained while she was opening the money bag.

"There are a total of 230 nine taels here, and there are 550 taels of copper coins. Among them, the meat was sold to the restaurant in the town, a total of 50 taels, and the tiger skin was given to a rich family. 110 taels, tiger bones, and tiger whips, according to your As I said, it was sold to a medicine hall, not to mention, the price is indeed much more lucrative than selling it cheaply to a restaurant, a whole pair of tiger bones cost 50 taels! In addition, the tiger penis is 30 taels, which adds up to 240 taels. Those hundreds of copper coins were used to buy the [-] catties of pork you wanted, all of which are the best pork belly."

More than 200 taels of silver is indeed much better than Xiao Yunchu imagined. She originally thought that selling it for 100 taels would be very good.

In the purse, apart from nine taels and 550 taels of copper, the other 230 taels were silver bills, one for 100 taels, two for 50 taels, and three for ten taels. This was the better Tu Xing had with her before departure. Not only did he blink his eyes when he brought back the silver, but he also struggled to carry it.

"Please take a trip." Xiao Yunchu thanked Tu Liehu, and at the same time presented a ten tael silver ticket with both hands, "This is for your hard work."

"This—" Tu Xing's face changed suddenly, and he was about to refuse when he was interrupted by Xiao Yunchu.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. If it weren't for Uncle Tu's help, I'm afraid that even if I try to go to the town alone, I won't be able to sell so much money. This little care is what you deserve, and you can't let it go." It’s a waste of time, if you don’t accept it, I won’t feel at ease with so much money, besides Brother Dajiang and the others, I will prepare some thank you gifts for them later, and it’s not just yours.” It's just that Liu Dajiang and the others don't contribute as much as he does, so the gift of thanks must be less.

Tu Xing hesitated for a moment, seeing that her attitude was very sincere and she was not saying polite words. Compared with more than 200 taels of silver, ten taels of silver was not a big loss to her, so he took it.

In addition, Xiao Yunchu also gave him another five catties of the pork he bought. Tu Xing had already guessed that the three of them could not eat such a large amount of meat. It was probably a thank-you gift for those who helped them. Of course, there is no need to be polite about meat.

Xiao Yunchu also asked Tu Xing to hide the real amount of money she earned from the public.

Tu Xing knew the truth that money touches people's hearts, and he got benefits again, so he naturally agreed, leaving a sentence of "if you need it in the future, just come to me again" and left without waiting.

As soon as the person left, Xiao Zixi, who had been standing obediently by the side, held Xiao Yunchu's hand and asked eagerly, "Mother, is our family rich enough to spend?"

Xiao Yunchu smiled and put the banknotes into the space first, pinching her daughter's cheeks, "Yes, I am rich, and there will be a market in Hongye Town in just two days' time, then I will take you to buy some daily necessities and new clothes How about it?"

"Really!? That's great! Mother is so kind!" Xiao Zixi jumped up happily.

Xiao Zichen also grinned and couldn't stop laughing.

After knowing the existence of the space, Xiao Zichen's smile became more obvious. He also saw so much food with his own eyes, and the money bought by the tiger. He didn't know how much more than 200 taels was, but he knew it must be a lot, enough for them to spend a long time .

Once the pressure of life is gone, it will naturally look like a five-year-old child.

In this regard, Xiao Yunchu is happy to see the success. This is not the end of the world where people are cruel and cannibal, so there is no need for children to be educated too prematurely.

People in the village knew that after Tu Liehu helped Xiao Yunchu sell the big bug, many people came to inquire how much it was sold for. Most of Tu Xing was vague and didn't say the specific amount in the past. Not only that.

But the villagers who don't know the market in the village have no doubts, and think that 80 taels is enough, enough to make them sleepless with envy.

There are sighs and emotions, and there are many who are jealous and say sour words. Some people say: "If I also went up the mountain that day, I would be the one who picked up the cheapest!"

In the end, he was sprayed back by some sensible villagers, "Don't think about it, you are so sure that you can be as lucky as Widow Xiao? If one is accidentally discovered by the wolves, there will be no bones left after being gnawed by the time. What about making money?"

Everyone thought about it, isn't this the truth? This kind of good luck is really not something anyone can catch up with. It can only be said that maybe God pitied Widow Xiao for her miserable life and asked her to change her luck.

On the other side, while it was still dark, Xiao Yunchu went to the village chief's house with twenty catties of meat and six taels of silver.
